Professional development goals are intended to increase one's knowledge or skill set. These types of goals focus on plans for learning or enhancing a person's ability. Our school provides educational programming for students aged 5-21 years in grades K-12, who have special learning, social, and emotional needs. It is the mission of the Stanley G. Falk School to provide our staff with effective professional development enabling educators to develop the knowledge and skills they need to address students' learning challenges.
